My Descendants Are My Power

Nathan pointed at the ancient tree in front of them. His voice was gentle. "Mr. Martinez, people often say that my family, the Blackwoods, are no different from dark sorcerers. Even some of our old friends joke about it."

"I remember when we were very poor, my foolish daughter would spend all day by this old tree, trying everything she could to make it bloom and bear fruit. She knew that this was the only way our family could get some decent natural treasures. Thanks to her, our family's old tree has grown strong."

As Nathan spoke, the Primordial Blood Tree did not show a human face, but its branches swayed slightly in the night.

Jimmy still frowned.

Nathan continued, "My foolish daughter, oh, she spent decades in the psychic herb garden, dirty and ignored by everyone. But since then, Gratitude Village has been free of disease, and our family has never lacked psychic herbs."

"Later, when times were tough, our family's elder serpent needed to break through. Everyone knew the dangers ahead. She had been quiet all her life, but that day, when we were rushing to go, I heard her speak so long and so logically for the first time since she was born."

"The Oracle Chamber should know of her many titles: the Saintess of Flora, the Maiden of the Demon Cave, the Doomsday Pharmacist... But do you know, beneath all these glorious titles, she kept no treasures for herself, everything she found she brought home. And you certainly don't know that in my heart, she has only one title."

"And that is my daughter!"

"She has given her life for our family, and as long as someone in our family is alive, no one can hurt her, not even the thunder tribulation!"

Nathan's words pierced the night, striking straight to the soul.

Jimmy was shaken for a while, then a warm look crossed his eyes. He bowed slightly to Nathan, "Mr. Nathan, then I won't try to dissuade you."

He shook his head and, followed by Dennis, left the Blackwoods, heading towards the border.

Dennis smirked, "Mr. Martinez, why did you stop trying to persuade him?"

"What could I use to persuade him?" Jimmy shrugged and sighed deeply, "I can persuade an old family patriarch, but I can't persuade a father. Let's go, Mr. Dennis, we have much to do in Border Town."

Hearing this.

Dennis's eyes lit up, "Mr. Martinez, are you going to help us?"

"What can I offer to help?" Jimmy rolled his eyes, "You think the power controlled by the leader of The Oracle Chamber is vast? The members I brought can handle some petty theft and scheming, but if it comes to a major battle with three tribes, we won't be much help."

Saying this.

He moved forward, his eyes narrowing slightly, "But it's been a long time since I've met a friend as sincere as Mr. Nathan. I'll give it a try!"

"It might be good for my peace of mind!"

[Special Event—Amelia's Nine Trials of Thunder]

[Your descendant Amelia has faced the ultimate thunder trial, and your family confronts three Druid tribes, facing perilous paths ahead, yet your family marches on undeterred!]

As the event unfolds, the entire Blackwood springs into action!

They move silently, armed with the Forebearer Psychic Position, spreading out in all directions like spectral forces under Daniel's strategic command, with every key member assigned a specific task.

At the Blackwood residence, they've even enlisted an elder from Duke's Mansion's Competent Force to help keep watch. Only Jeffrey's family remains at the residence, frantically expanding their lineage, with the children fervently honing their skills.

Meanwhile, Katie's reputation grows; countless young talents in Cloudview County have fallen to her Pink'Sparkly Unicorn Bow', likely unable to raise their heads in her presence for a long while.

[Your descendant Katie has defeated numerous prodigies, now her name instills fear across Cloudview County. At the sight of anything pink, adversaries lose heart and retreat. Trait gained: Pink Terror]

[As long as the realm difference isn't too vast, the chance of opponents fleeing increases. During battle, the psychological burden on opponents increases by 100%!]

"It seems our younger generation is growing up... well, growing up in a way."

Ethan watches with a hint of pride as Katie, with her long bow, searches for opponents on the screen.

Looking elsewhere, the Primordial Blood Tree has risen from the ground, no longer within Blackwood. At this moment, young Joseph is still lying in a pit.

[Your descendant Joseph, who has slept for three years, gains the trait: Serene Detachment]

[He desires nothing, chases neither fame nor fortune, and avoids conflicts. His insight has increased by 30%!]

Joseph's realm has fallen to the early stages of Emerging Ability, still youthful in appearance. Ethan wonders when Joseph's study of the "Great Dream of the Ancient God" will end.

Seeing that the children are safe, Ethan is about to switch the view.

He freezes as a Blackwood servant rushes over, whispering into Joseph's ear, "Young master, the second young miss's reputation is growing. Dawn has sent word that someone has challenged her to a duel.

They say behind their challenger is a master of Developing Skill, seeing the second young miss's naive nature, they wish to defeat her and have their disciple marry into our Blackwood family for profit."

"Should we..."

The servant's face darkens, making a throat-slitting gesture.

Joseph, without opening his eyes, breathes deeply, "No action needed, let Katie grow up and see the world's wickedness. Send orders to slowly inform Katie of their plans, let her handle it herself. Make sure everything is arranged properly, don't let my foolish sister get hurt."

"Yes, young master!" The servant smiles slightly, "Afterwards, shall it be as before?"

"Mm."

Joseph turns over, "Leave no trace, make it clean."

The servant hurries off, and moments later, from the headquarters of Dawn in Glory City to the halls of Grey Mist, masters scatter.

"...What?"

Ethan, watching this unfold on the screen, is stunned. It's been a long time since he last checked in on Joseph.

Though always seemingly lazy, Joseph has not been idle. Looking back at Joseph's past experiences, one thing stands out.

[Your descendant Joseph, influenced by many life experiences, although not wanting to become like his grandfather Michael or uncle Kenneth. As Jeffrey's lineage grows and becomes more susceptible to deception, the family's power also expands, attracting unseen elders and entangling them like omnipresent tentacles.]

[He has learned to disguise like his maternal relatives, taking over the family's power in the shadows, eliminating the relentless and greedy like flies.]

[Trait gained: The Hidden Hand]

"No wonder Blackwood has become the most powerful family in Cloudview County, free from the harassment of those with ulterior motives."

Seeing this trait appear, Ethan is surprised for a long while, then smiles with relief, "These children are also slowly growing up, starting to silently share the family's burdens. With this, I can let go and focus on the natural magic array."
